Overview
A blues player building a kit gets three Marine Band harmonicas in C, G and A, the keys that cover a lot of common songs. Each has a double lacquered pearwood comb and arched covers fixed with screws for easy maintenance.
Three keys in one box covers a lot of blues and rock jams at once. The pearwood comb gives the classic sound, though wood still needs drying after playing to stay in shape.
Who it's for
Intermediate and aspiring blues players who jam in several keys. Absolute beginners may prefer a single C harmonica first.

Performance notes
Tone comes from the arched covers, which project the reeds with the authentic blues voice, and from the pearwood comb. Double lacquer seals the wood so it swells less with moisture, keeping the sound clearer.
